MACLOSKIE : REVISION OF FLORA PATAGONICA. I I I 



S. DOERINGII Lor. et Nied. Mad, p. 369. 



The rank of an independent species can scarcely be given to this plant 

 According to Spegazzini, Nov. Add. Flor. Patag., Ill, p. 954, it represents 

 only a form of S. fruticosa L. 



S. FRUTICOSA L. Macl., p. 370. (Not identical with Suada 



fruticosa Forsk.) 



A variable species. Spegazzini mentions two forms, viz., forma macro- 

 stachya Speg. and forma doeringii (Lor. et Nied.). In my opinion Sali- 

 cornia magellanica Phil, is identical with the latter form. D. 



S. MAGELLANICA Phil. Macl., p. 370. 



Should be deleted, being identical with a form of the preceding.

(Not Lerchea Hall.) 



S. DIVARICATA Moq. Macl., p. 370. (Sub Lerchea.'} 



This species has nearly the same distribution in our district as has been 

 stated for Atriplex lampa Gill. It is very common along Rio Negro and 

 in the northern section of the east coast of Patagonia. 



It is a steppe bush up to 2 m. high, generally growing in dense masses 

 and not seldom, either alone or together with Atriplex lampa and Larrea 

 divaricata Cav. and cuneifolia Cav., covering large areas. 



S. PATAGONICA Speg. Macl., p. 371. 



Also in Fuegia, by salt-water lagoons, in the steppe ; S. Patagonia, not 

 rare in the valley of Rio Sta. Cruz, rather rare in the valley of Rio Leona, 

 but very common in many localities in the valley of Arroyo Shewen, 

 nearly along its whole course. 



Fam. 33. AMARANTACE^E.

 G. PERENNIS L. and G. ROSEA Gris. 



Should be deleted ; not known from our district.
